Details and Relationships
- This form has no detail table. Its main relationships are Employee and Leave Type.
- Approval happens in the Leave Approval menu, which reads the same table.
After Saving
- An approved leave closes the check in option for that employee on those dates, unless the leave type is marked Counted as Working Day, such as a business trip.
- The record appears in the Employee Leave Summary report.
- Saving is refused when the dates overlap another request from the same employee, or when attendance already exists inside the range.
Common Issues
- Overlap message: look for another request from that employee in the same range, then cancel or correct one of them.
- Attendance exists message: the employee already checked in on that date. Cancel the attendance first from the attendance list.
- Maximum days message: the leave type limits how long one request may be. Split it into several requests or change the limit in the Leave Type list.
- Employee missing from the picker: make sure the record is active and inside an employee group the user may access.
